LCD side screen is barely visable.

My camera is about 4 years old, and has barely been used, but now all of a sudden, when you open the side screen, you can barely see anything. It's like the LCD or crystal is blown or something. If I take it in to where I bought it from they are going to charge me $30 just to drop it off, plus pay for shipping for them to ship it out, then I have to sign an agreement to pay up to $150 dollars before they will call me to let me know what is wrong and how much it is going to cost to fix. Any suggestions?

The adjustment instructions are clear enough in the manual that you could possibly push the right buttons to adjust the brightness down without being able to read the LCD screen while doing so. It's certainly worth your time to give it a try!
Concerning your question about buying an LCD screen and replacing it yourself; you shouldn't do that. The fact that the LCD screen is all white demonstrates the fact it IS actually working. It's just being told by the camera to display all "white", so the problem is somewhere else in the camera.
If trying to adjust the brightness down doesn't work for you, then your best option is likely going to be sending the camera to JVC for repair. Not knowing which part to replace could end up making the repair more costly for you if you try to do it yourself.

It sounds that the back-light CCFL lamp is faulty. It is time to replace it. When replacing, do it to all CCFLs, because, the life time to these lams are expiring now, as the set is nearly 4 years old. Check this link http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ to get more details about how to replace the CCFLs. Pull up older posts there. Some among it have details.
